Lightbulb Trophies for University of St Mark and St John

The University of St Mark and St John in Plymouth asked us to supply some bespoke trophies for their 2016 student awards. They asked us to base the design around a lightbulb motif so we used our CNC lathe to make walnut sculptures of incandescent bulbs.

The raw materials:

CAD/CAM software was used to model the bulbs and then generate the toolpath files which dictate the CNC lathe’s movements.

In the workshop:

The bulbs were mounted onto a rectangular base with a chamfered plaque holders.
